Hi

How can I make the More Articles Box show random posts from the “Featured” category? Is there a CSS-fix I can add to make this happen? It would really improve the usefullness of the box.

Thanks for helping me out!

Best,
Are

Hi,
Go to Theme panel -> Post settings -> More article Box and set it to Random http://screencast.com/t/1jOybsLw

Then go to Posts -> Categories and see what is the ID of the Featured category like here: http://screencast.com/t/IwIOUTu1dDSm

Then add this code: , 'cat' => 98 like here http://screencast.com/t/g1R0btDqB1 with your category ID.

Thanks!

Hi

Followed all your steps (including changing the category ID), but it didn’t work. Tried different categories too, just to be sure. The More Article Box keeps showing random posts from all categories…

Hi,
Are you sure? Because for me works great! Please make sure you have done exactly like above.

Thanks!

As I said, followed all your steps exactly as you show. Still not working…

Is there a css thing I can add or something? Because no matter what category ID I throw in there, it shows me random posts.

I’m using child theme, so that might be the issue? Btw: I’ve edited both the newspaper more article box file and the child theme file, just to be sure…

Hi,
What else I can do? I’ve show you that for me works great!
Can you give me access to your WP and FTP to make the modification myself? Send the details via email at contact@tagdiv.com

Thanks for the message!!
